Dear Diary Saturday....

To say today started out smooth, would be a lie. I was up early to go and get the inspection done on my car. My cat, Cali Ann, decided she needed to sit in my face this morning and tell me all about her exciting evening and mush her face all over mine. Well, never one to pass up a chance to have a conversation, and some love, from a cat, I mushed my face all over hers.....and ended up having a severe allergic reaction! Well, only one other cat in my life has ever caused me such a severe reaction, and you will all remember his name.....Tails. So, you know I must be just as much as in love with this cat as I was with Tails. I jumped in the shower, but to no avail. By an hour later my one eyeball was so swollen that it actually protuded from my socket and part of the bottom of it hung out of my socket, red and swollen. I almost ran down to emergency. I popped three Benadryl, took another shower, and sat with ice on my face for an hour until it became a little more normal. I got my car inspected, which took a grand total of 15 minutes, came home, and by then the three benadryl had taken effect so I ended up napping, against my will for three hours. Now I feel like I was out drinking all night AND my eye is still red, but not swollen......thank the Goddesss.

Last night Dylan and I went to his company party at Franklin Quest Field. I had the wonderful opportunity of meeting all of his co-workers, who for a bunch of brokers, are really fun and not boring at all. I absolutely had a blast of time, more than either one of us truly expected out of the evening. We left the game early and I called it an early evening, as I knew both of us would be having an early morning.

Tonight is shaping up nicely. We are meeting the Netzlers to see "Charlie's Angels II", which is supposably running for Turkey of the Year, so this should be fun! After the movie, who knows. As we are all so old, we will probably run back home for bed.

Tomorrow, I am planning a day of barbecuing. I am not exactly sure what I will be cooking, but I was thinking a whole chicken, as I have yet to try that.

Note to self: Positive, positive, POSITIVE thinking...not only about work, but about myself, as well.

Dear Diary Tuesday....

Okay, let me play catch up....

Monday....went to work and then went to the dentist. Talked to my dentist about my mother's tongue problem and what her doctor said about her having an allergic reaction to her plate and my dentist almost pee'd himself he was laughing so hard! So, he write me a prescription to go get filled for her as he thinks it is a bacteria and she now has infected taste buds. Went back to work, had a horrible run in with the Pitboss and told her, in not such a nice tone, that maybe she better find somebody else to do my job, to which she stayed away from me the rest of the day. Not to get to lengthy about it, but it was because she made a snide comment, questioning why I could not keep up with the mountain of work we have. Well, I left work and met up with the Connie and her group of wedding planners. Unfortunately, we did not find dresses for the bridesmaids but we have a great idea. We then had a wonderful dinner and I went home completely exhausted!!!

Today has been alright. I was extremely productive at work and accomplished a lot. I actually left work feeling like I had made a dent, albeit a small one, in the work load. Unfortunately, I got caught in a discussion and so I did not even leave work for almost an hour after I should have left. Kinda threw my work out schedule off, as now I am home in my pajamas!!! The good part of the day is that I had two individuals, not together, come up to me and tell me how good I look and that they could tell I have lost weight! Now, I am not saying I have lost weight, but I have been much better on my portion control....AND...not eating out every single day for lunch!!! Huh, maybe something is working......

The insomnia is back and kicking my ass!! In the past week I am averaging 1-2 hours per night. I have my good days, where the lack of sleep does not bother me, and then I have days like today where by the time I get home I feel like I am dragging my body around behind me! Very pathetic and I need to work on doing something about it....not sure what but I am gonna find a way to SLEEP more than 1-2 hours a night!!!

Do you ever think back on people who you were friends with in the past, like in your childhood, and suddenly miss that person horribly? Yeah, me neither.......

Thoughts for me: Keep up the positive energy work, find small goals every single day to accomplish, keep negative thoughts at bay.
